THERE should be town meeting held to
resolve in favor of piping ice to the city. Ice
in summer is a necessity. $50 great a bless
ing stored by the great Ruler of the universe
for the good of all should not be seized upon
by individuals or corporations for their own
profit" And whereas ''the poor the widow
and the fatherless, who have been compelled to
shiver through our long and bitter winters,
should be the first to share the inestimable
blessing" of ice in hot weather; And whereas,
''the people must in the end, pay all expense,
whoever may advance the capital required to
obtain and maintain supply of" of ice; there
fore, resolved by the citizens of indianapolis
in mass-meeting assembled that 'the people
should be given an opportunity to secure unto
themselves" all the benefits of ice in hot
weather. Perhaps something of this kind
would fetch it.

THE Sentinel compliments the biennial re-
port of Hon. W. r. Myers, late Secretary of
State, as "more comprehensive, and therefore
more valuable, than any report of the kind
hitherto published" A large part of the
''comprehensiveness" was printing swindle
and fraud on the people. Among other ex-
traneous matter which had no business in the
report was National Official Register" Civ
ing the names of the President Vice president
and members of the Cabinet; list of tho
members of Congress from every State in the
Union, with their politics and places of resi-
dence; returns of presidential elections in
1880 and 1884 by States; summary of United
States censuses from 1870 to 1880; the Consti-
tuition of the United States and of the State,
etc. All this extraneous matter was ingeni-
ously padded out to help make big book and
put money into somebody's pocket.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
John Sherman Favors 1t, but Is Not Prepared
to Express His Views at Present.

TORONTO, May 1.-THE following extract from
letter to Erastus Wiman, from Senator Sher-
man. on full reciprocity between Canada and
the United States will appear in Canadian pa
pers tomorrow.
mo question of greater Importance 10 our
foreign relations is now presented than this. 1t
certainly is object of desire to remove all ex-
listing controversies and to encourage business
and commercial intercourse between the people
of both countries. AS to the particular measure
proposed by Mr.. Butterworth, or. indeed,
as to the extent to which reciprocity should 60,
and the articles that should be admitted free Of
duty in the respective countries / do not feel
justified now in expressing opinion, for these
must be subject of negotiation between and
legislation by the two countries. can only say
that the general object sought seems to be one
of the highest importance, creditabe alike to
both countries. and which will receive my care
full and friendly consideration during the COM
ing summer. It would be dscreditaole IN ths
highest degree for two countries having SO many
interests In common, and natural ties OF friend
ship and amity, to have any irritation or con1ro-
versy about their trade and intercourse wiz
each othar

The unveiling to-day of the monument to
the late Hon. Schuyler Colfax will mark the
consummation of movement alike credita-
BILE to him whom it commentaries and to
those who planned and executed the work.
Mr.. Colfax was during many years one of the
most conspicuous and popular men in Indiana,
and among its deceased statesmen there is
none who is held in more kindly remem-
brance by larger number. That his works
live after him is attested by the handsome
monument to his memory to be unveiled to-
day. This is a tribute of the Odd-fellows, of
which order Mr.. Colfax was prominent and
honored member. It's successful completion,
within so short time after his death,
is due in large measure to the eff
forts of the Daughters of Rebekah, of
which degree he was the founder, and
to the generous response which the move
ment elected from the order. Their interest
did not end in raising the funds for the monu-
ment, for they will be here to-day in large
numbers to witness the unveiling of the stat
ue. They have done their work promptly
and well, and are to be congratulated alike on
tine spirit which prompted the undertaking
and the success which has attended it.

thing to organize, but the Councils should pay
no attention to the movement. The duty of
the Councils is to pass, soon as possible, an
open ordinance, with proper restrictions, un-
der which any and all companies can come in.
Then, when the Peoples Plastic and Protect
i've Pipeline on Paper Company get ready to
supply gas they can do so on the same terms
as others. But it would be the height of fol-
ly for the Councils to delay or postpone action
on this account.

If there is any considerable number of per-
sons who think that wells can be sunk and
natural gas brought to the city by passing res
olutions by all means let them form "com-
bine" for the purpose. They might call it the
Peoples Plastic and Protective Pipeline on
Paper Company" Let them take ten or fifteen
days, as many weeks, to solicit stock subscrip-
tions. The longer they solicit the more apparent
the impracticability Of the scheme will be. Let

THE residents of Woodruff Place and vicin-
ity needed line of street railway, and petit
toned the Council to order it built to which
request that body graciously and unexpectedly
accedsd. Such line will accommodate a
considerable number of people in that part of

number from all parts of the city who would
patronize Crown Hill line. Will the Council
not order track laid in that direction ''to

THE Louisville Commercial deplores the de-
and attributes it to the fact that the public
has lost confidence in the honesty of most of
the men who own and control the horses.
Years ago." it says, swhen Buford, Price
others ran their horses from 'eend to eend,'
and not to suit the tricks or dictation of the
pool-box, racing was made respectable, and the
best people sanctioned it by their presence
and support. To-day different state of
things exists. Nearly every owner is gam
bier, specuator or sharper He either
goes into the book-making business himself,
or works his schemes through some friend or
partner. His horses are run solely for the
amount of money he can swindle the public
out Of"
The Journal is not organ of horse-racing
nor at all informed in the mysteries of the
turf, but it knows enough to know that the
foregoing is true. Whatever of honesty or
fairness there may have been in horse-racing
in old times, is now a matter of tradition.
And, unfortunately, the remark applies with
more or less force to every outdoor sport and
game. from yachting to baseball. Many of
these sports and games have an element of
general interest, and might be made attractive
to much larger and better class of people if
conducted on clean and honest principles.
But as long as they are managed by jockeys
and tricksters for purely mercenary purposes,
self-respecting people do not feel like patron
izing them. The result is that outdoor sports,
which ought to interest everybody, are by
very many regarded with disfavor.

If the strangers in town to-day find their
way about on the street cars it will be by the
courtesy of the citizens who will kindly tell
them where the streets are at which they wish

their patrons, and the drivers have too many
other duties to attend to.

GOODSPEED'S CRAZY FREAK.
A Demented CinciEnatian Tries to Choke His
Wife with a Piece of Cloth.

CINCINNATI, May 17.-At o'clock this morn
ing wild-eyed man. about fifty years of age,
with his long beard torn aud his face showing
traces Of blood entered the central police sta
tion and said to the officer in charge, II am j.
M. Goodspeed; I have assaulted my wife. / do
not know whether she is dead or not You had
better lock me up until you find out. Send to
the Bodley homestead, on Price Hill" The man
was locked up, and officer sent at once to the
place indicated. At the house the officer found
Mrs. Goodspeed in bed. with her face and throat
bearing marks of violence. She was at first
averse to talking, but when told that her hus-
band had surrendered himself she went on to
say that they had played croquet the lawn
until o'clock last night, when she retired, Mr..
Goodspeed saving he was not ready yet. About
Ii o'clock she heard him in the room, but fell
asleep. At midnight she was awakened, to find
him standing over her With glaring eyes and
awful expression his face, trying to twist
some dark cloth down her throat. A terrible
struggle ensued, in the course of which she
begged him TO desisr. offering him the title TO
all her property, but he was inexorable and
beat her with something he held in his hand.
Mrs. Goodspeed caught his long beard and with
all her strength wrenched portion from his
face. This caused him such pain that he
linquished mis- hold, and. a servant entering at
that point he left the room. Major Goodspeed
married Mrs. Bodley wealthy widow year
two ago, after an acquaintance formed at
having for long time served principal of the
public schools. Mrs. Goodspeed is of the opin-
ion that ner husbands mind Is deranged, and
that view is taken by all who know him. He
was therefore taken, this forenoon, to the Sani-
tarium at College Hill, where his mental condi-
ton will be ascertained. He has hitherto borne
a spotless reputation, and has been held in high
esteem by all his acouaintances. Mrs. Good
speed will be confined to her for some
time by the injuries to her head, throat and

graphic description of the tragedy. Mr.. T. f.
McNair had incurred the hatred of the commu-
